I wanted to give you guys a sneak of what I created with the Scallop album included in Feb’s kit. I had so much fun with this. I wanted to make something special for my husband and I (since most of my work is for the kids!LOL) I mainly only added ribbon since I am a ribbon freak!

This is the cover and the last 2 pages of the album…I kept it simple by keeping the pictures square/rectangle rather then tracing them into a circle. I cut out elements from PP and used a bunch of the die cuts from the FP die cut sheet. Great way to embellish the book!!

Looking for a fun, quick decoration for Valentine’s Day? Well, we have one for you this month! This project took me about an hour to complete, and so fun! You get a lot of fun “stuff” in this little kit. Making Memories clips, stickles, K & Company rubons (which by the way are fabulous!), Cloud 9 paper, and this fun little accordian album. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (for close ups click on the pictures) Enjoy!

Okay, do you ever look at a page and want to journal and nothing seems to come to you? Do you ever find yourself describing the event but not the emotions that you want to express? I made a discovery today!When your pictures are developed, before you create a page, or a creation, look at them think about the event. Then journal, right down everything you can remember about the event (the weather, who was there or whatever YOU want to remember), interview your family members to see how they felt. It makes the most difficult part of scrapbooking (for me) much easier!Another suggestion that I like to do is to take a little notebook with me on trips or outings and ask everyone what was their favorite part and why.So if you are feeling creative and don’t have the time to create a page and don’t feel like organizing your things, journal your pictures! Enjoy!
